The two remaining mounting prongs were constructed fromm 0.75mm styrene sheet.
The seams were all treated with Mr dissolved putty and will be sanded up when this is dry.
Onto the decals..... well not quite!
Decaling the flight recorder base was a disaster. The custom made decals wrinkled up instantly and then the ink bleed out from the wrinkles. Unfortunately I did not discover this problem until my second attempt at the decal dried. I had to rip the decal off and this of course striped off some orange paint.
The flight recorder panel was sanded down and re-coated with orange, at least this gives it some variation in tone from the rest, which I like.
I now have used up two of my custom decals and failed. I feel this may be because I am using a setting solution on them (Mr mark softer). My next attempt at the decals will be with no setting solution, so I hope that works.
More soon,
Cheers,
